Section 4.4 says:

Additional-Registered-Clauses  = CFWS Atom FWS String

It should say:

Additional-Registered-Clauses  = 1*(CFWS Atom FWS String)

Notes:

1. The rule Additional-Registered-Clauses is used by the rule Opt-info (also in section 4.4, page 59) as:

Opt-info = [Via] [With] [ID] [For] [Additional-Registered-Clauses]

2. The ABNF comment for Additional-Registered-Clauses states that "Additional standard clauses may be added in this location by future standards and registration with IANA."

3. Each sequence (CFWS Atom FWS String) represents a single clause.

code it receives.

The "sender" is the entity that issues commands and receives response codes (from the "receiver").

   Terminals not defined in
   this document, such as ALPHA, DIGIT, SP, CR, LF, CRLF, are as defined
   in the "core" syntax in Section 6 of RFC 5234 [7] or in the message
   format syntax in RFC 5322 [4].

   Terminals not defined in
   this document, such as ALPHA, DIGIT, SP, CR, LF, CRLF, are as defined
   in the "core" syntax in Appendix B of RFC 5234 [7] or in the message
